Sheffield School of the Dance is a professional, caring, family owned dance studio. They love and treat their dancers like family. My daughter is a 3rd generation Sheffield Dancer and I can't imagine her dancing for any other studio. The Mobile community is lucky to have the Sheffield-Noletto-Shinn Family!!!

Sheffield School of the Dance has been the #1 Dance Studio in Mobile for over 70 Years! The expertise in training dancers and total professionalism is unmatched anywhere on the entire Gulf Coast. I am proud of say I grew up dancing at Sheffield Dance and now am able to share my love and passion this studio instilled in me, with the next generation of dancers. A huge thank you to my grandmother, Mary Lou Sheffield-Noletto, for being a true pioneer of dance in Mobile, AL. This is THE PLACE to send your child for dance training on BOTH SIDES of the Bay!
